Oh jealous me and careless you The odds were just too great I couldn't stand those lonely nights You made me sit and wait
But I'd thought I'd seen the last of you When you walked out of site Instead I see you in my dreams each night
Oh the key's in the mailbox, come on in I'm sitting here wishin' dear, I'd have your love again And I'll never even ask you where you've been The keys in the mailbox, come on in
Well I said I'd rather stay alone Than share your company I said don't come around at all If you want more than me But sitting here alone I can't deny the flame that burns And I'd gladly take you back on any terms
Woke up this morning happy as could be Looked out my window and what did I see? A comin' up my sidewalk just as plain as day A well a here come trouble that I never thought I'd see When you went away
Hello trouble, come on in, you talk about heartaches Where'n the world ya been? I ain't had the miseries since you been gone Hello trouble, trouble, trouble, welcome home
We'll make a pot of coffee and you can rest your shoes A you can tell me them sweet lies and I'll listen to you For I'm just a little part of, of the life you've lived But I'd rather have a little bit of trouble Than to never know the love you give
Hello trouble, come on in, you talk about heartaches Where'n the world ya been? I ain't had the miseries since you been gone Hello trouble, trouble, trouble, welcome home
They're gonna put me in the movies They're gonna make a big star out of me We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And all I got to do is act naturally
Well, I bet you I'm a gonna be a big star Might win an Oscar you can never tell The movie's gonna make me a big star, 'Cause I can play the part so well.

When I woke up this morning you were gone The note on your pillow said so long The things that seemed so right now seem so wrong As I'm left alone to face each empty dawn.
Think it over, don't let love fade away Think it over, is there nothing left to say Leave your pride, meet me half way Think it over, don't let it end this way.

Well, I'd be glad to take you back, again And share with you my love that never end Without you my world's not worth living in So think it over, and let's try, again.

I had the key to heaven when we married and for a while I brought you happiness But now your love for me is dead and buried And every night you share another's kiss And I'd rather be the one you slip around with And be the one who's dream of love is gone I'd rather be the one you spend your time with than be the one at home all alone [ steel - fiddle ] Deep down inside I know that I should leave you How many tears was fallen before I learn I think of many ways that I could grieve you and yet I'm always here when you return And I'd rather be the one...
She's out there somewhere I don't really care I'm proud to say that we had Just a casual affair.
We drifted together Then drifted apart And I crossed her name From my heart.
But, I'm lying again, yes, lying again One kiss from her could start me crying again If you could see behind this game of pretend You'd see my heart crying, I'd be lying again.
--- Instrumental ---
If she ever phones Please say that I am not home Just tell her I'm busy And to leave me alone
I hope she's happy For I plan to be A she's Just a memory to me
But, I'm lying again, yes, lying again One kiss from her could start me crying again If you could see behind this game of pretend You'd see my heart crying, I'd be lying again...
It seems like years and a million tears Since you've left the old hometown Now you've changed they say and the great white way Is your new stomping ground.
Well, it's plain to see you've forgotten me 'Cause you never write or call But I'll be around when they let you down And I'll catch you when you fall.
I'll catch you when you fall There's no one else but you Now, you're flying high but honey by and by You're gonna cry for love that's true.
So when you're uptown maybe Starts giving you the stall I'll be around when they let you down And I'll catch you when you fall.

Well, I've heard it said they've turned your head You're ashamed of us back home But I'll bet the sound of a southern bound Still chills you to the bone.
With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes You're not fooling me at all When you're feeling bad your ol' country lad Is gonna catch you you fall.
I'll catch you when you fall There's no one else but you Now, you're flying high but honey by and by You're gonna cry for love that's true.
So when you're uptown maybe Starts giving you the stall I'll be around when they let you down And I'll catch you when you fall...
I don't believe I'll fall in love today For if I did I know I wouldn't stay I just can't make my heart find someone new It's always much too busy lovin' you

You have gone and yet I'm still your prisoner Althought you're with your new love I'm not free For you have placed a lock around my heart, dear And you are the keeper of the key.
Love locked inside like mine burns constantly So darling, please come back to me We'll lock our hearts together for a lifetime And God will be the keeper of the key.

Only you can break the chains that bind me Only you can end my misery No one else can dry the tears that blind me For you are the keeper of the key.

Heartache numbers one Was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way And heartache number two was when You come back again You came back but never meant to stay
Chorus: Now I've got heartaches by the number, Troubles by the score Ev'ryday you love me less, Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number, A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting, That's the day my world will end
--- Instrumental ---
Heartache number three Was when you called me And said that you were coming Back to stay With hopeful heart I waited for Your knock on the door I waited but you Must have lost your way
